>What does X offer for new users that Wayland doesn't? (Besides stability) it offers more options. The PineNote is an e-ink stylus tablet that only supports Wayland, and I've been looking for a dead-simple mouse-driven compositor (because tablet). X had bucketloads of WMs, most of them long-since stabilized and featured complete. Wayland has nothing. Nothing in the Debian-stable (which comes shipped on the PineNote and is stable) repo, at least. Is this somewhat niche? Sure! Is it a huge fucking pain in the ass? Also sure! I'm not against Wayland, in premise - it supports process isolation (potentially useful for KDE Activities in some amazing ways) in a way that X just can't and never will. X is not the future. But frankly, neither is Wayland. It's barely even the present (ask wacom/Krita users, or anyone with accessibility needs, what they think of Wayland devs), and actually loses some features (multi-window stuff is impossible-by-design on Wayland, which means entire swathes of software will just literally never switch to Wayland), and while Wayland does gain features and possibilities, they're niche features just like the X features that Wayland broke. The "X is a clusterfuck" argument becomes increasingly weak, since Wayland is more and more clearly a clusterfuck itself. At this point, I think Arcan is the future (www.arcan-fe.com), although please note the main dev is specifically avoiding the limelight before v1.0 and thus writes in a deliberately dense and unapproachable fashion. It's super elegant and a genuinely groundbreaking project.
